Chapter 57: Party Shock
Xiao Fang wanted to continue speaking when he suddenly noticed Tom glaring at him.
He quickly changed the subject.
"Nothing much, just some of the costumes aren't detailed enough, and some of the props can't be used anymore. Time is tight so there are some inconveniences."
"Oh, so that's how it is. Just do your best. Tell everyone not to put too much pressure on yourself."
Xiao Fang took the opportunity to whisper in Jun Lan's ear: "If you want to know, wait at the back stairs on the 28th floor at 12 noon."
Junlan nodded.
At 12 noon, Junlan went to the 28th floor to wait for Xiaofang without even having lunch, but he showed up after a long time.
She checked the PR department's address book, found his number and called him to ask what was going on, but no one answered the call. After making more than ten or twenty calls, Jun Lan went directly to the PR department again.
Junlan looked for Xiaofang among a group of people busy rehearsing, but there was still no sign of him.
"This is strange. He's not rehearsing at this time and he's not looking for me in the stairwell on the 28th floor. Where is he going?" Jun Lan called Xiao Fang again but still no one answered.
Junlan grabbed someone who was rehearsing.
"Do you know where Xiao Fang went?"
The man shook his head and turned to the rehearsal crowd and shouted: "Has anyone seen the captain?"
Everyone shook their heads, they stopped rehearsing and started talking.
"He just disappeared, and we know where he went."
Someone picked up the phone and tried to call Xiao Fang.
"That's right, we've reached the most crucial part. He's our team leader. Without him, how can we continue rehearsing?"
"Did you go to the toilet?"
"No, I just went to see him."
The discussion among the crowd became louder and louder, and everyone began to worry about Xiao Fang's safety.
Suddenly, a terrifying scream was heard in the corridor outside.
“Someone’s dead, someone’s dead…”
Everyone rushed to the corridor, only to see one of the housekeeping staff pointing down the stairs and shouting in panic: "There's a dead person down there, there's a dead person."
Everyone looked down in the direction she pointed, and sure enough, they saw a man lying on the landing of the stairs, with broken pieces of glasses scattered around his head, which was soaked in a sea of blood.
Everyone was in a panic, and some timid female colleagues who were afraid of blood fainted immediately.
Junlan: "Everyone stay calm. Have you called an ambulance?"
"Yes, I called just now."
"Everyone, please leave quickly and don't disturb the scene. I'll go over and see what's wrong with him." Jun Lan walked over carefully and found that Xiao Fang was still breathing weakly. She quickly and gently turned him over with his face up.
After a while, an ambulance arrived and took Xiao Fang to the emergency room for emergency treatment.
At this point, the entire public relations department refused to rehearse Hamlet anymore.
Tom was furious when he heard the news and started yelling at them, "What happened to Fang Yunhui was just an accident. It has nothing to do with the rehearsal of Hamlet. You're all highly educated university students, how can you not even have this common sense?"
"Whether it was an accident or not, we have to wait for the police to investigate. You're not a police officer, so how can you be so sure?"
"That's right, this kind of thing doesn't happen every day or two, it has happened several times in a row. If it wasn't Xiao Fang who got into trouble this time, how long do you plan to keep it secret?"
"Are you going to wait until all of us are dead before you want to call the police? If we hadn't listened to you and reported it earlier, Xiao Fang might not have gotten into trouble."
Faced with the overwhelming emotions of the crowd, Tom became less arrogant and domineering.
"What does this...this...have to do with me? Don't push everything onto me.
"Don't waste your time talking to him. He doesn't care about our lives, so why should we be polite to him? Just beat him up and kick him out!"
At this time, a group of people surrounded Tom directly.
Tom was so scared that he stuttered: "What on earth do you want to do? Hitting people is illegal, don't come over here again... I'm calling for help... Miss Lin, come and save me..." Tom had no choice but to hide behind Jun Lan for shelter.
Jun Lan: "Manager Tom, hiding behind me is not a solution. You'd better leave now! Otherwise, if the situation gets out of control, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it!"
"Yes, yes, I'm leaving now." Tom, who was threatened by everyone, ran away with Weibo in his hand like a rat crossing the street.
"It's a good thing he ran fast, otherwise we really wouldn't let him go." Someone said angrily after he left.
Jun Lan: "Xiao Fang is in trouble. I know everyone is upset, but beating him up or boycotting the performance won't help!"
"Ms. Lin, you don't understand. Do you think we're saying we're going to beat him up and boycott the show because he's always bullying us and doing nothing?"
Jun Lan shook her head, looking puzzled: "Isn't it?"
"Of course not, we are here because of this."
After saying that, they took out large and small newspaper clippings and tattered costumes from the prop box.
The clippings were filled with threatening slogans: "Tang Zhengfei (that sissy Tom) deserves to be put to death and his body must be torn to pieces." and so on...
Junlan: "Has Tom seen all this? Does he know about this?"
"All of this was done to target him, how could he not know? That psychopathic lunatic seemed to know he was nervous about this play, and to goad him, he kept cutting up our costumes and hindering our rehearsal progress."
Jun Lan was terrified. "Oh my god, how come I haven't heard of this? According to you, that lunatic can often come and go from the PR department? He could even be one of us at any moment. Faced with someone so determined to threaten his life, Tom didn't even react at all?"
"We also advised him to call the police so they could find the perpetrator as soon as possible and not make us live in fear all day. But he chose to remain silent and said it was just a prank and he would stop after a while when he got tired of it. He's the one threatening us, not us. He said that, so what can we, his subordinates, say?"
Jun Lan looked at the threatening sign with the word "death" in it and said, "This doesn't look like a prank at all! It seems like this person really wants Tom to die."
At this time, the little girl with glasses who was responsible for contacting the media last time was muttering something.
Jun Lan: "Hey, aren't you the girl who was in charge of contacting the media last time? What's your name? What are you talking about so confidently?"
Little sister: "Sister Junlan, my name is Chuchu. You may think I'm a little crazy, but to be honest, I always feel that our public relations department has been having such a hard time these days because we didn't pray properly during rehearsal, so now we are being punished!"
Jun Lan rolled her eyes at her and said unhappily, "Don't try to be superstitious at this time."
